It is proposed that social practices-practical social activities-involve a kind of knowledge distinct both from technical skills (knowing-how) and the application of theoretical knowledge (knowing-that); they involve a knowing of the third kind (knowing-from), a contextual form of knowing from within a situation which takes into account, in what is known, the situation within which it is known. Such a kind of knowledge cannot be communicated in the form of theories, only in the form of narrative accounts. The nature of how people are placed in or determined by their surroundings, and the space of possibilities open to them for further action, are discussed
